SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS.

Messrs. Edison and Gilliland are at
work upon some device which shall reg
lister a message coming by telephone.
Valuable results are expected.
Melodious sounding electric whistles
are a novelty, and are said to be taking the
place of electric bells in France. The
whistle is made by fitting a small brass
tube with suitable apertures so that it
opens against the spring of a suitably
formed communication.
Experiments seem to show that a
large ocean steamer, going at nineteen
knots an hour, will move over about
two miles after its engines are stopped
and reversed, and no authority gives
less than a mile or a mile and a half as
the required space to stop it's progress.
The violent collisions in some cases dur
ing fog may thus be accounted for.
A London paper says that more than
1000, 900 glass eyes are made every year
in Germany and Switzerland, and one
French house manufactures 800, 900 of
them annually. The pupil is made of
colored glass, and sometimes red lines
are painted on the inner surface to simu-
late the veins. The largest number of
these eyes are bought by laborers who
are exposed to fire, and are consequently
liable to lose an eye.
A man in Iowa has spent fourteen
years in solving the problem of boring a
square hole, and he has succeeded. A
company is organized to put his inven-
ton on the market. 1t is simply an os-
cillating head with chisel edges and
projecting lips which cut out the cor
ners in advance of the chisel. The bal
ance of the machine is an almost exact
counterpart of the old-styled boring
machine. It will cut a 2x4 mortice in
from four to five minutes, and doing it
with perfect accuracy, that a carpenter
cannot possibly complete in less than
half an hour.
Over 900 railway cars, composed al
most wholly of steel and iron, are being
built in England for the railways of Hin
dostan. The climate conditions of India
are as destructive of wooden cars as is
the climate of this country, where cars
require continual repairs, and wear out
even faster when not in use than when
actively employed. Car repair here is a
large item in the expenditures of the
railway companies, and one not easily
reduced. The experience of the East
Indian railways in the use of steel cars
will be noted with interest.
A striking instance of labor saving ma
chinery is that which makes tin cans.
One of the machines used in the process,
solAers the longitudinal seams of the cans
at the rate of fifty a minute, the cans
rushing alongin a continuous stream. Of
courses drop or two of solder is left on
the cam. The drop on the outside is
easily wiped off, but it is not S easy to
secure the drop left on the inside. Amin
genious workman has patented an ar
rangement for wiping the inside of the
can without stopping the machinery.
Result, several thousand dollars in roy
alties in his W pocket, and a saving
of fifteen dollars worth of solder per
day to the firm that uses it. Thirty
thousand al are a days work for this
machine

ii HOSPITAL Wtthoue 4lcoho,

Thirteen years ago a hospital was
started in London on the plan Of dis
earding the use Of alcohol except where
every other means failed. Since the be-
ginning only four cases out Of tens Of
thousands have been treated with aIco-
hol, and the percentage Of recoveries
has been much larger than n any other

Thirty Mtttfons Of Cuc,unbers.

At Fredericksburg, Va, a place made
famous by great battle during the
civil war, a pickle factory has been
started. One q the specialties pro-
duced by it is picked cucumbers. The
cucumbers are grown on the poor and
Wornout lands of that section and the
ground must be heavily manured. The
cultivation of these vegetables appears
to be a trivial affair, but it has grown to
be a1important industry. The Rich
mohd Wing gives the following i'm
portant particular of it: This season
the supply has reached 80, 600, 600 GU
cumbers, those engaged in their pro-
duction furnishing from 200, 900 to
1000, 900 each. An acre will produce
100, 900, and they sell in fredericksburg
at so cents per 1000. The object is to
get them an inch or an inch and a half
long, and this requires active picking
before they increase this size. A boy
will pick 8, 900 in a day. Picking them
thus carly increases the productiveness
of the vine, and, while the season lasts
others are appearing in place of those
taken from the vines.-EPicayune.
